Former Court Stenographer Temporarily on Out Saturday Ploasanlly Greeted. Newton Walker of ttloomsburg, formerly court stenographer in this judicial district, was temporarily on duty at court in this city, Saturday owing to the illness of William Lin ville, the regular stenographer. Mr. Walker is a genial gentleman of the older school, whose attain ments and personal integrity com mend him to all classes. After an absence of some ten years he was warmly greeted SalurJay by mem bers of the local bar and others aud his presence served to awaken many pleasant recollections of the past. Advancing years seem to rest light ly on the shoulders of the former stenographer and he is looking ex ceedingly well. Saturday was the first that Mr. Walker h:i 1 ever rid J. u on the Dan ville and Hloomsburg trolley and the first time that he had been in our town since the new bridge was built and Mill .street was paved. At the opening of court Saturday morning Judge Evans made an order assigning Mr. Walker to take notes in the testimony. Danville News. . DEEDS RECORDED.

The general tendency of parents to-day is to make professional men out of their sons, although there is a great unsatisfied demand for first class mechanics, while the clerical ranks are overflowing with mc 1 who have high ambition but are unable to earn a livelihood. It is a noteworthy fact tha. evdy time a class graduates from a high school the large percentage of the male graduates endeavor to become pro fessional men. Entering a profes sion they often find the ranks over crowded, and gradually become clerks and subordinate employees in capacities where there is no op portunity for them to better their situation. The really independent, happy man today is he who has mastered a good trade. If he is an industrious worker and willing to live economically he will spend his declining days in independence free from labor. The rule, on the other hand, is that a professional man is never done working until he dies. Especially desirable these days are the trades of bricklayer, carpenter, mechanical engineer, machinist, iron and steel worker. Men in these trades can earn high wages, and the hours are not long. Telegraphy is another line in which the supply of men is nearly equal to the de mand, aud the wages are constantly climbing higher. In many towns the dearth of good tradesmen is very noticeable. Boys, learn trades and you won't regret it. Parents, induce your son to take some of the many trades that will enable him to, in the long run, greatly im prove his condition in life. "TEN TALKS TO MEN." A pamphlet has been recently printed at this office, which con tains ten of the addresses that were delivered by Hon. Fred Ikeler to the Men's Bible Union on Sunday mornings. It is unnecessary to say that they are able and interesting They are more; they are entertain ing and instructive, and while their author did not intend them as nights of oratory, they are the kind of plain, practical, every day talks that men like to listen to. The fact that Mr. Ikeler's addresses have increased his class from sixteen up to more than three hundred, is all that need be said of them. They are in convenient form, and have been placed on sale at Bi- dleman's book store by the Bible Union. They will be found excel lent reading. THIS SEASON'S PLAYS. The Grand Opera House will open next month, and during the winter will otter tue following at tractions: "No Mother to Guide Her." "The Master Workman." "The Ragged Hero."

Considerable excitement was caused in the Nice town post office last Tuesday by the explosion of an infernal machine addressed to Secretary of the Treasury Cortel you. It was in the shape of a small package, and when the mail clerk attempted to cancel the stamps on the harmless looking object an explosion ot great force occurred, which however, did little damage. There is no clue to the sender. 1 On The Careful and Conservative Management 1 0e Q5foom06urg QWionaf Q&mft Invites Your Business. 3 Per Cent. Interest Allowed on Savings Deposits WM. H.

Danville is much disturbed by the discovery that the sewage from the Hospital for the Insane is emp tying into the river just above the town. The river is very low, and there is no current on the south side. Three years ago the Danville Hospital Trustees installed a rrod eiu sewage disposal plant but it never worked satisfactorily and I he present is one of the times when ii. ?s out of order and the sewage nec essarily is being dumped into the liver. The borough council is taking action in the matter.
